This is from my "fire" series. I had done this photo shoot during the Pima
County Fair.
Today I'm
showing you the more interesting side to humanity. Fire and movement with the
body. It's more abstract but I'm working on capturing the "spirit".
Humans can at times inspire photography. Not often:) I still like my birds,
unicorns, and hidden gems. But I am also fascinated by the art of movement. In
fact, one of my favorite shows is anything that has to do with Cirque De Soleil.
I think these images capture the desert well. When I look at these two shots
above and below, I imagine the ancient Native Americans moving with fire
to ceremonial dances. And during this night event, I am reminded of their
presence. Until tomorrow....

I really like this series of posts Chris - its amazing the effects you are getting. I tried firework photography once or twice with mixed results :)
ReplyDeleteI like how your mind works ,Chris
ReplyDeletethese are neat. they look less like photos and more like graphic art you'd have created.

Enjoying your uber-creative side with all the kinetics stuff! Isn't life kinetic?
ReplyDeletePrometheus meets the gestic art. Very nice, Chris.
ReplyDeleteLove your way of describing it:)
ReplyDeleteThings like this are so fun to experiment with. I think you've done a great job of capturing the essence of fire and movement.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly....you are alive!!! So glad to hear from you. Don't feel like you have to catch up and respond to each post. It's just nice knowing you're okay. I know how it gets. I'll be doing a blogger break this Thursday until Monday. Stay out of the heat....it's really really hot right now. Glad you're there and that Tracy is well. Me:)
DeleteFire IS alive! In the bonfire or torch fire, I see fire spirits dancing. Fire dance is collaboration of dancers and fire spirits. In Japan, fire is sacred and used for purification, and there are various spectacular events using fire. Your photos took my breath away. Some of them look like abstract painting.
